Question

Which value of slope represents the steepest line? Explain. -35/8, -3, -5/6, -4

Answer 1

The steepest slope would be the most negative number in this case.
To figure this out it might be easy to figure out a simplified version of the fractions: the -35/8 ask yourself how many 8's go into 35 and is there extra. So you would switch it to a mixed fraction, and what would that be?
As for the -5/6 can 6 be taken out of 5? If no what is that fraction close to?

Answer 2
